平井伸治 (ID: 0000004249435ad0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/22/2022 I can't save even about 10 tabs.

Richard Lloyd (K3tonan) (ID: 0000001ad77c26d5) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/12/2021 If your looking for something very minimalistic and are not a tab hungry monster like some this would suffice. FreshStart has been my longtime favorite. It is minimalistic and yet saves the sessions in your bookmarks for syncing while giving you that extra crash recovery. I can export each session if needed to from one browser to a whole other browser. The only thing it lacks is export as a whole and turn on/off loading the tabs on restore. Tab aside by xfox111.net is another light weight tab/session manager and lacks tab/session recovery and the ability to include other windows. It does however allow you to restore without loading all the pages (a must IMHO). Tab Aside by Concinnitas Apps another light weight w/out recovery LayZ - Tab Manager only noting as it has a few interesting features I have not seen regarding Audible tabs. Don't think its very useful though as it doesn't appear you can save multiple session. Super Focus Tabs - Another good mention, room for improvement regarding Tabs. Not seeing an option for Sessions though. Others I am testing Tab Session manager and Session Buddy Thanks and keep up the good work. Look forward to coming back for any updates.
